The 1941 bungalow standing at 1103 Edgell Road is slated to disappear. A demolition permit filed late last month clears the way to tear down the century-old structure, leaving the 01701 property vacant for the first time in decades.
Clifford Wilson, the current owner, submitted the application on November 26. The filing signals the end of a property that has seen significant turnover in recent years, having changed hands in August 2015 for $162,000. While conflicting records list the home's size between 672 and 1,344 square feet, its classification as a single-family residence remains consistent.
This is not the first time this address has been in the public eye. Since 2011, the property has generated 25 separate permits, suggesting a history of renovations, repairs, or code enforcement issues leading up to this decision to raze the building. The demolition permit, numbered 1773642, moves the site from a state of maintenance to one of potential redevelopment.
The change aligns with shifting activity on Edgell Road, where commercial interests are also expanding. Nearby businesses are currently seeking alcohol licenses, indicating a broader push to activate the corridor. With the residential structure removed, the future use of the lot remains an open question for the neighborhood.
